The neck is all maple, that is with a, what looks like mahogany, skunk stripe. But I didn't make the neck... it's off a Hondo "Fame 760"

I bought the Hondo originally, on ebay, because it had Alembic pups and active electronics in it, for $125... but it turned out the neck is great, and fits my hand perfectly. I never really liked the Alembic setup, so it turned into parts

I also did a good fret leveling/dressing, and a new bone nut. The frets needed a good bit of work, I guess that's part of what makes a neck cheap. But just a little work, and it's a great neck.

How hard was the wiring for this guitar? I was thinking about doing the triple hex pickups as well, insead of the double-single-double one. I will probably end up ordering a pre-made WGD body from warmouth.

The wiring wasn't hard, it was a bit tight in a few spots, but OK. Basically it's the same as the Jerry Schematics that are available, with the addition of a true bypass/led switch for the Tube Screamer, and I also used a true bypass for the whole active section, so if there is ever a problem, I can just go with the unaltered pups and tone controls. I guess I changed that a bit; I combined the Neck and Middle tone control, and left the Bridge tone exclusive.

As per Caspersvapors' request, here's a video... and I used the Rivera Amp instead of the Champ... you'll have to pardon the webcam mike but I think you can hear the difference even with the distortion...

Oh, the name of the mode has jumped clean away... it's the one with a flat 7... mainly I'm just diddling with that and the Scarlet Begonias thing in the back of my mind and wherever the mistakes take me

It's too bad that webcam mike was so nasty... I'll make a regular audio clip with the real mics and the Rivera setup when I get to it...
